The detection device (8) also detects a rotary frequency (f) of the rotating element (2) and feeds it to the control device (9). The control device eliminates from the radial deflections (x, y) at least one frequency portion that comprises the portions of the radial deflections (x, y) having frequencies close to a filter frequency that has a defined ratio to the rotary frequency (f). The control device (9) uses the frequency portion to determine frequency control signals (Fx, Fy) in accordance with a frequency control model. The control device determines a remaining portion using the difference between the radial deflections (x, y) and the frequency portion, and uses said remaining portion to determine remaining control signals (Rx, Ry) in accordance with a remaining control model. The controls signals (Sx, Sy) are then determined by summing up the frequency control signals (Fx, Fy) and the remaining control signals (Rx, Ry).
